New wife is not favored

Chapter 411

Leaning upright on the transparent glass cabinet next to the kitchen counter, put your hands on your sides to support your body weight.Those shining pupils watched Mai Xiaoxianxiu's figure back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room.


"Mr. Duan, why don't you sit in the dining room? I'll bring the miso soup right away and we can start the meal." Mai Xiao said softly with his back turned to him.The black hair over her shoulders slid over her shoulders as she bent over to pour the soup, covering part of her sight, and made her stop in the middle of her movements.


"Is today a good day?" He stepped forward to help naturally, his slender and strong fingers passed through her silky long hair and gathered it behind her ears. "You actually prepared a large table of dishes by yourself?" What surprised him even more was that the ingredients were extremely expensive.Seafood alone accounts for most of it.


"No more." She tilted her head and gave him a grateful smile, "This is the ingredient our chef asked me to use for the experimental dish."


"Experimental dishes?" This new word made him very interesting.


"It turns out that you don't really want to invite me to dinner, but you need someone to try the dishes for you?" He frowned pretending to be annoyed.The cold and hard lines drawn by the face that suddenly lost all smiles really frightened Mai Xiao.


"No, Mr. Duan. Although these are the experimental dishes I tried to cook for the first time, I have tried them no less than three times before. This time I am sure that the taste is good, and I will never eat Mr. Bad Duan's. Stomach, it won't make you feel hard to swallow." When she was nervous, the miso soup she was holding carefully in her hand almost fell over.


"Hey, be careful." He took it and walked quickly to the dining room.


Mai Xiao looked at his handsome back, and a beautiful smile appeared on his beautiful lips.


"Mr. Duan, this is baked crab with onion and cream. It tastes like a home-cooked dish, but it also incorporates Western cooking methods, so the taste should be shared by both Chinese and Western food, and it will not be biased towards one side. And this is Chinese-style spicy fried salmon maw, which has a stronger taste. , suitable for diners who love spicy food. This dish is stewed clams in red wine. It is made from Japanese-style dashi stock and red wine and simmered slowly over a low heat. It has high nutritional content and a relatively light taste.


When she finished explaining the big table of dishes one by one, Duanzheng had already finished the big plate of baked crab with onion and cream.And turned upside down the small bowl of light miso soup she handed over.


"Mr. Duan, is it still to your taste?" Mai Xiao asked expectantly, unable to restrain the upward curve of the corner of his mouth.


A certain man whose appetite was aroused and who was aiming at the plate of stewed clams in red wine snorted vaguely, "It's not bad, the crab meat is tender and delicious, and the flavor of onions and butter are mixed together." In fact, he used to Do not touch food with a pungent smell like onions.But the aroma of this dish made him unable to resist moving his chopsticks, and even got out of control, and ate it all.


"Really?" Mai Xiao frowned with joy, "Then you try this." She put the stewed clams in red wine in front of him.Carefully filled a small bowl for him, and stirred it with a spoon a few times naturally to speed up the dispersion of heat.


He looked at the pair of white hands that were busy working for him.Watching them jump and leap in the spoon and the milky white soup, like elves dancing in the white mist, is particularly eye-catching.


She loves to laugh, is gentle, caring, and has a good cooking skill.Such a docile and easy-going woman made him very puzzled, and he couldn't overlap her with the seductive girl who seduced him into bed and forced him to lose his virginity.


"Miss Mai, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked suddenly, asking naturally.


The movements in Mai Xiao's hands visibly paused, it was strange that he would ask such a question suddenly.


"I do not have……"


"You live here alone?" The sharp eyes swept around the room intentionally or unintentionally, searching for suspicious men's items in the room except for women's items.


Mai Xiao was too embarrassed to look at him.After putting the bowl in front of him, he bit his lip as if he had decided on something, just about to speak.Zhengzheng changed the subject inexplicably, "Ms. Mai, in fact, wouldn't it be good if you chose the job of chef from the beginning? This can not only reduce the chance of unemployment, but also kill two birds with one stone because cooking is your own hobby. Do it comfortably and support yourself.”


Hearing this, Mai Xiao laughed a little embarrassedly, "Actually, this was suggested by my friend. I never thought that I would work in the kitchen before. And I am not qualified to be a chef now, just a chef assistant. .”


"It's strange."


"Huh?" She was puzzled.Where is it strange?


Just as he was taking a sip of clam soup stewed with red wine, he suddenly felt that the rich and mellow soup wrapped the unique seafood taste of clams lingering on the tip of his tongue, lingering for a long time and never dissipating.


He narrowed his eyes slightly in enjoyment, and then licked the soup stains on his lips childishly.That satisfied look made Mai Xiao's heart tremble, as if a fire had been lit.


"How can you do such trivial things as cooking?" Even if she was kicked out by her family when she was 19 years old, she had been living in Mai's family for the past 19 years, right?

The Mai family is not very rich in Taiwan, but the degree of wealth is no less than that of ordinary medium-sized enterprises.Coupled with the hundred-year-old title of the Mai family, the fame and prestige of the Mai family in the wealthy district cannot be compared with that of ordinary big companies.


And the young lady of the Mai family, who grew up in such an environment, did not look like a cook who would be willing to stay in the kitchen washing her hands and making soup.


Mai Xiao smiled indifferently at his doubts, and sat down on the chair beside him.


"When I was young, apart from my grandfather playing with me, there were almost no peers to play with me, so I usually like to go to the kitchen, because there are not only delicious food, but also uncles and aunts to play with me. Later, I went to the kitchen frequently. , they will teach me some simple cooking in their spare time. Sometimes I will go to the kitchen to make food by myself because I am bored or in a bad mood. If grandpa praises me for doing well, I will be happy all day. At that time Cooking is to pass the time and please grandpa. But now it is to support myself." She smiled helplessly.
